Today we face a Threat America has never seen before. A former president who provoked a violent attack on this capitol in an effort to steal the election has resumed his aggressive effort to convince americans that the election was stolen from him. He risks inciting further violence. House republicans are expected to replace cheney with new York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. She has emerged as one of former President Trumps top defenders. Despite the fact that her Voting Record is less conservative than cheneys and less in line with trumps. Now this all comes as former top Trump Administration officials are set to deliver critical testimony next hour to congress in defense of their handling of the capitol insurrection.
